The two players Man Utd need to sell before they can sign Manuel Ugarte

Manchester United reportedly have to sell at least one player in order to make room for Manuel Ugarte.

So far in the summer transfer window, United have already brought in striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna and defender Leny Yoro from French side Lille.

With the new season under a month away, a host of different players continue to be linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Paris Saint Germain star Ugarte has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Red Devils.

As reported by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who wrote on social media: “Manchester United have agreed on personal terms with Manuel Ugarte. Contract terms discussed, player keen on moving to United even without Champions League football.

“Club-to-club talks continue with PSG, as more clubs also inquired. Same agent as Leny Yoro: Jorge Mendes.”

However, Romano later revealed that United may have to sell before they could sign the Uruguayan midfielder.

He added: “Man United, working on outgoings with Casemiro or Scott McTominay to make room for new midfielder. Ugarte, keen on the move. Up to the clubs.”

On Friday morning, Romano provided another update, he wrote: “Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to let Manu Ugarte leave with destination Manchester United as they want João Neves at all costs. After agreement João-PSG, talks are still ongoing with Benfica over fee.

“Man United and PSG also still in talks over Ugarte fee.”

United kicked started their pre season fixtures with a 1-0 defeat against Rosenborg on Monday evening.

Speaking after the match, United boss Erik ten Hag said: “The result is not secondary. But of course we play in pre-season, but at Manchester United the standard has to be winning games and definitely not to lose games.

“If you can’t win don’t lose the games but we did in the end, in the last seconds of the game. Of course the performance is more important but we know the performance was below [the] standard.”
